BMW K1200GT

The BMW K1200GT is a sport-touring motorcycle made by BMW. The second-generation K1200GT, introduced in 2006, uses essentially the same inline-4 engine as the BMW K1200S sportbike, which held the world speed record in 2005 for its class at 279.33 km/h (173.57 mph), and the K1200R. The new model is lighter and more powerful than the first-generation K1200GT, which was introduced in 2003.

BMW are best known for tourers, and here we have the K1200GT, the more touring-oriented version of the sporty K1200S. The K1200GT has slimline, slab-sided, challenging looks but it's not the most unattractive sports tourer around by a long shot. The top-to-bottom quality finish is what we've all come to expect, although there is an excess of black plastic around the dash area.
